An Interesting Note About The Ezreal VGU

HonestJohnTheCon·8/23/2018, 8:09:18 PM·2 votes·4,163 views

Ezreal's VGU will be the first one ever that will be of a champion who's lore is already up-to-date.

For those who are unaware, Ezreal's lore was updated during the Piltover lore updates during Camille's release, along with Cait, Vi, Jayce, and Ori. He is getting a VGU (well, VmGU) and will probably receive at least a partially updated lore.

Let's do an experiment, shall we, and see just how change-happy the lore team is.

Personally, I expect them to keep the lore mostly the same, just bringing it in line with his new visuals and quotes. Because, frankly, the lore for him is already good.

But what do you think?

I expect some slight changes to his lore,though not necessarily a retcon of his current one(similar to how Shens was adjusted with Akalis release,even though it was still pretty much the same).

They'll likely expand his lore,though I wonder if they'll update the lore of other champs as well considering that the only piltover champ without an updated lore is Heimerdinger ,so I guess it'd be more likely that they update the bios of champs that are related to Ezreals new story.

They will expand it. Like with Akali and Gangplank

We already know his story about his parents being lost and him trying to find them and eventually having to give up but that's just his origin story. Something else will happen that will give him a clear motivation beyond just "being an adventurer" which is really vague and kind of amounts to doing nothing while traveling. Involve other characters like Ryze, maybe have him come into contact with a rune.

(for me Ryze and Ezreal represent the League of Legends core cast, like if their was a League of Legends movie they would be the central characters so they need a motivation to move the overarching story along)

Maybe it could be changed again? Didn't Evelynn get a lore update with the Universe thing prior to her rework with a short story, only for the rework to retcon that?

Plus new VO, most likely a new color text and an updated bio.

This is said about Ezreal VGU, not Morgana's so expect some changes buddy.

We still don't know if they will change his lore .. Since we know they change stuff even when unnecessary

His lore was modernized, but that was under the assumption that he is who he currently is. He hadn't undergone a VGU at the time of his lore modernization. They will VgU Ezreal, and they should take him where he needs to go, and alter his lore to fit that, not base his VgU off of lore that was designed to mesh with his old looks and model.

I feel that Ezreal's lore will be...expanded. As in, most of it will be the same but we will get background details or what he is doing at current.

This isn't to say most people will accept the lore expansion. While Ez isn't necessarily one of said champs, there are a few who don't like knowing the hidden motivations or past of champions.

Expanding, while it's not rewriting, could still cause problems with a few people since it didn't quite fit headcanon.
